A farming practice that leaves the previous year's crop residue on fields before and after planting the next crop to reduce soil erosion and runoff.

The use of renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and bioenergy to power agricultural operations which reduces fossil fuel consumption and carbon footprint.

A chemical-free farming method that uses natural inputs like compost, manure, and biopesticides to sustain soil health, ecosystems, and people's health.

The strategic planning of livestock grazing to improve pasture growth, livestock health, and ecological sustainability of the land.

Collecting and storing rainwater for on-site use instead of allowing it to run off. It's used for irrigation, livestock, and even as drinking water after proper treatment.

A combination of aquaculture (raising fish) and hydroponics (the soil-less growing of plants) that grows fish and plants together in one integrated system.

The practice of planting cover crops that are primarily used for adding nutrients and organic matter to the soil. These crops are typically plowed under and incorporated into the soil while green or shortly after flowering.

Growing of plants for the purpose of soil improvement, erosion control, and weed suppression. Cover crops are usually not intended for harvest.

This practice integrates trees and shrubs into crop and animal farming systems to create environmental benefits, such as enhancing biodiversity and reducing erosion.

A form of charcoal produced from plant matter and stored in the soil as a means of removing carbon from the atmosphere. It also improves soil fertility and agricultural productivity.

Growing multiple crops in close proximity which can include intercropping, companion planting, and mixed cropping, enhancing diversity and reducing pests.

An ethical design system applied to agriculture that mimics the patterns and relationships found in nature to create sustainable ecosystems.

IPM aims to manage pests using environmentally sensitive approaches such as biological control, habitat manipulation, and modification of cultural practices.

It involves changing the type of crop grown on a particular piece of land from season to season. This helps to improve soil health and reduce pests without using chemicals.
